The statistics say that Maryville College defeated the
University of the South 42-30, but the fans that traveled to
Sewanee, Tennessee and Hardee-McGee Field as well as those
following via live video would be hard pressed to tell you they saw
the Scots victory due to heavy fog on the mountain.

Maryville used a 14 point final quarter to pull away for their
second victory of the season.

Sewanee (1-2) got on the scoreboard first when they marched down
the field on their first possession. The 12 play, 61 yard drive was
capped when Callum Wishart connected on a 24 yard field goal.

Following a poor MC punt, the Tigers capitalized after getting
the ball on the Scots' 45 yard line. On the fourth play, Devante
Jones dashed 11 yards to score. Wishart's kick gave Sewanee a 10-0
lead.

Trailing by a pair of scores, Maryville utilized strong running
by Travis
Felder and a long reception by Ed
Johnson to get into the red zone. Evan
Pittenger called his own number and scampered eight yards for a
touchdown run. Lucas
Underwood's kick made the score 10-7.

The end of the first quarter saw Sewanee sustain a long drive
via their ground attack converting four third down attempts. As the
second quarter began, the Tigers finished off a 16 play scoring
drive when Curtis Johnson dove into the end zone from one yard out.
Sewanee's conversion failed making the score 16-7 in favor of
Sewanee.

The Scots looked to answer trailing by nine. Hard running by Chad
Brooks and a great catch by Ed Johnson helped MC march down the
field for a 69 yard scoring drive. Pittenger once again found pay
dirt from a yard out and Underwood's kick made the score 16-14 with
eight minutes remaining before the intermission.

Sewanee's Powers Spencer answered on the next possession with a
strong 83 yard kick-off return. On the doorstep, the Tigers'
Devante Jones ran eight yards for a touchdown. Wishart's kick made
the score 23-14 in less than ten seconds of possession.

MC's Ed Johnson emulated Spencer's run taking the following
kick-off to midfield. Three plays later, Travis Felder dashed
around the left side from 16 yards out to score. Underwood's PAT
pulled the Scots to within one score with a 23-21 disadvantage at
the break.

As visibility began wane due to the fog, MC made numerous
defensive adjustments and the Scots offense pulled away.

The opening drive of the third quarter saw Maryville drive 88
yards on 11 plays eating up four minutes on the clock. Travis
Felder found the end zone from three yards out for his second score
of the game. The conversion gave MC their first lead at 28-23 with
eleven minutes left in the third quarter.

Sewanee would once again pull into the lead with an eight play,
61 yard scoring drive. Charlie Powell scampered 27 yards for the
touchdown to close out the third stanza. Entering the final
quarter, Sewanee held a 30-28 advantage.

With eight minutes remaining, Maryville pulled a reverse out of
the playbook and Blake
Williams dashed 32 yards for the score. The kick gave MC a lead
for good, 35-30.

The Scots' defense held the Tigers and forced a late turnover
with four minutes remaining. Maryville finished off the scoring
with a four-yard Felder touchdown run.

Sewanee (1-2) rushed for 254 yards on 60 carries. Devante Jones
averaged 6.6 yards per carry after running for 105 yards.
Defensively, the Tigers were led by Dave McKeithen with 11 solo
tackles and 16 total stops.
